The hour-long special was filmed live at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on October 13, during the sold-out Americana Music Association's Honors and Award Show, at which Mayfield was nominated for New/Emerging Artist of the Year.

Hosted by Jim Lauderdale, with the Americana All-Star Band led by frequent Emmylou Harris collaborator Buddy Miller, the show runs the Americana gamet, beginning with the opening of "I'll Fly Away," a tribute to the O Brother Where Art Thou? soundtrack, featuring Harris and Alison Krauss. Jessica Lea Mayfield joins the All-Star Band for a performance of her song "For Today," of which you can catch a sneak peek in the video below.
